Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients. If using optional add-ins, slice the tomatoes, cooked bacon, and avocado.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread.

  2. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, place one slice of cheddar cheese. If using, add tomato slices, bacon, or avocado on top of the cheese. Place another slice of cheddar cheese on top, then cover with the other slice of bread, buttered side facing out.

  3. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.

  4. 5

    Flip and Cook

    Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula. Cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until it is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 6

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let cool slightly, then slice into halves or quarters for easy handling. Serve warm.
